Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohousing House Swap Service

[Fran Hart (hartmagic]

Hi Zev,
Thanks for asking!  I like the idea of a cohousing house swap service and 
explored it in detail with a friend a few years ago.  We discovered rich 
potential for connecting and sharing community living.  I played with the idea 
because of a few very delightful house swaps I've experienced. 

We started a project but didn't get it off the ground.  Here is the web site 
http://www.communityhousetrade.com/ .   Is anyone out there interested in 
moving this forward?  The domain name and web site are due for renewal in 
January, I'd consider moving forward, or passing it on.  Otherwise I'll let it 
go.

The project needs someone with strong web site technical skills and passionate 
about community living.  We explored options of an income structure serving the 
various community networking organizations.  I'm open to ideas, contact me at 
hartmagic [at] frontier.net 970-884-1139.
Cheers,
Fran Hart

Hello Everyone,

I am curious if anyone knows if there is any formal or informal  
cohousing house swap service available? I am envisioning a membership  
structure where you could place your home on a list with photo and  
lots of information and anyone interested who is also a member could  
either swap or use/rent it.
